WebSphere Application Server for z/OS (Daemon) automation and recovery scenarios

This article provides some scenarios for automation and recovery of WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS®.

Table 1. Scenarios for automation and recovery of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. To support WebSphere Application Server for z/OS to restart on an alternate system, a few prerequisites must be installed on every system (your original system as well as any systems intended for recovery) before reconfiguring the ARM policies to enable peer restart and recovery. For more information, read about the Setting up peer restart and recovery topic.

Handling inflight or indoubt transactions if there is a failure The daemon is a location agent. If the daemon fails during the course of a transaction, locate requests to the daemon can fail. These request failures might be surfaced by the client ORB. If the client is a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS client running in a sysplex, the locate request can be routed to another available daemon in the sysplex, if present.
How to determine if the daemon is running Use the MVS display command.
What happens to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS if the daemon goes down? If the daemon goes down, all WebSphere Application Server for z/OS servers started on the same system also are terminated.
What happens to other subsystems if the daemon goes down? Other subsystems continue to work fine. As a general rule, if the servers on multiple systems are defined in cluster and there is another one in the sysplex, if the daemon goes down , clients are not affected.
